Chapter 1, Hong Song Gate
Lin Xinru ... . ... His current name, the son of a wealthy merchant in the town of Shansha, the young master, the senior disciple of this small sect, has practiced martial arts since childhood, his father is still alive, his mother is not, and he has a second uncle who is an official.
However, this senior brother of his is, in fact, quite mediocre in swordsmanship, only slightly stronger than the Lu Yun siblings. If it were not for the financial support from his wealthy family that sustains the expenses of this sect, he would not truly have the opportunity to hold the title of senior brother.
Immediately ... ... immediately! Lin Xin felt a bit weak in the legs; having always lived in a civilized society, he had never encountered such troublesome matters. He tried to maintain a calm expression, but his hands gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, refusing to rise.
What are you going to do? ! '' Huo Hengdao clearly could not match An Ying, and at this moment, he wore an expression of vigilance and unease. Some disciples of the Hengdao Sect on the ground also struggled to get up, but some had their arms in slings, clearly broken, some had several fingers severed, and others looked pale, evidently suffering from internal injuries, having spat blood all over the ground
I am referring to the name. Lin Xin felt helpless
"Master, what is wrong with you?" The elder brother of the Er Leng Zi siblings was puzzled.
After staying on the mountain for several days, the four individuals prepared the master's remains and, in accordance with his wishes, buried him in the cemetery behind the temple on the mountain. Thus, only these four people remained to live together at the Hongsong Gate.
An Ying's voice suddenly rang out, followed by a loud crash and the clanging sound of various weapons colliding. They actually started fighting directly
"Master Brother, what you see is not my fault; they were the ones who acted first!" This fellow is a villain who cries out first. He immediately raises his hands in a gesture of innocence.
"There is definitely nothing good!" Lu Yun exclaimed loudly, rushing over to pull Lin Xin.
He is sitting in the courtyard of the Red Pine Dojo on Red Pine Mountain, and below the mountain lies Red Pine City, which is his hometown. From childhood to adulthood, the farthest place he remembers having visited is Haixu City, over one hundred miles away
Lin Xinhao was finally pulled out by Lu Yun.
The swordsmanship of the Red Pine Gate, known as the Red Pine Sword, has been mastered by her to an extraordinary level. In fights, she always charges to the front. However, this woman is impulsive and prefers to resolve matters with force. She is often held back by her family and has caused trouble multiple times, requiring her elder brother to spend money to bail her out. It was only through a twist of fate that she entered the Red Pine Gate
What on earth is going on here
He is well aware that both the seemingly innocent An Ying and the knife-wielding black-faced strong man Huo Hengdao over there are indeed real fugitives.
A rough and boisterous voice of a big man came from outside
In the oblique corner, a girl with a ponytail dressed in yellow long pants and a long shirt suddenly pounced on the old man, crying uncontrollably
Lin Xin stood dazed by the bedside, completely unaware of what was happening
Huo Hengdao has also heard about the situation of the Hong Song Sect. He originally thought that with the strongest Daoist of Hong Song dead, he could take advantage of the situation a bit. Unexpectedly, An Ying, who came out, is actually so formidable! This little Guiyuan skill is almost at the second level, isn't it
I... I... I...! The man from the Crossblade Gate, Huo, nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. He had just arrived and hadn't even said a couple of words when this woman rushed out, shouting and directly attacking. Heaven have mercy! He only came to negotiate properly, hoping to receive some compensation, and had no intention of fighting at all...!
I ask you, what is my name
There is also a junior sister, An Ying, who came from the foot of the mountain to learn martial arts. She has a good relationship with the master, possesses a delicate appearance, and has decent talent. In fact, she is the true powerhouse of this dojo, with the highest level of martial prowess.
Lin Xin felt dazed, only remembering that just a minute ago he was sitting by the computer, drinking tea and discussing issues with online friends. Then he felt tired and prepared to rest his head on the table for a moment, but unexpectedly found himself in this inexplicable place in the blink of an eye
Lin Xin gradually organized some information about the current situation in his mind
Fortunately, he did not rise to the position of the eldest disciple through martial prowess; his own abilities were essentially negligible. However, since the Hong Song Sect was almost entirely supported by his family, the livelihoods of everyone here were funded by his family's resources from down the mountain. Therefore, both An Ying and the Lu Yun siblings held him in high regard. Despite his poor martial skills in the dojo, he was responsible for managing everyone's sustenance, which was an unavoidable situation.
Lin Xin felt as if a thousand alpacas were raging through his mind
What?
Lin Xin looked at the gleaming swords and knives, his heart pounding. Although he had been mentally prepared for this, it was only upon witnessing such a scene of combat that he realized he was still somewhat apprehensive
No, Master Brother, I am afraid of Senior Sister! I am afraid that Senior Sister will be too harsh! That could cost someone their life!" Lu Yun cried out with a mournful face
Where is the Daoist of the pine leaves at the Red Pine Gate? I am Huo Hengdao. Are you going to provide an explanation today regarding the matter of injuring my disciple last month?
"What are they here for?" he asked, putting down the book in his hands. A sense of unease stirred within him
The most important thing is not these, but rather that this world is completely different from the world of the past
Outside the wooden cabin, there is a golden expanse. In the center of the small courtyard stands a short, old pine tree. Sunlight filters through the delicate needles of the pine, casting a shimmering light that resembles a scattering of gold dust.
He is nominally the senior apprentice, but he is well aware in his heart that his level of martial prowess is not even enough to withstand a single strike from others
... ...
The sounds of pinging and ponging outside gradually diminished, occasionally interspersed with bursts of anguished cries
One's own memory, the memory of this body, is intertwined like a mixture being pounded into paste
Master Brother
The old man's eyes were filled with expectation and hope, his emaciated hands fell down suddenly, losing all strength. His eyes widened, unable to close again
Inside the door, the two siblings, Lu Yun and Lu Yu, who have issues with their intelligence, were adopted by their master at a young age and grew up here. They possess average talent, but their loyalty is paramount.
She has already gone ahead! She said she needs to negotiate with the other party. Lu Yun saw that the senior brother was still sitting in the chair and immediately became anxious, Senior Brother, why aren't you moving yet!
In a state of confusion, Lin Xin finally managed to sort out his situation; he had indeed traveled to... After several days of shock, disbelief, doubt, and running around aimlessly, he finally came to a complete understanding of his current circumstances, which was that he could not go back...
"Cross Blade Gate?" Lin Xin was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly remembered that the Cross Blade Gate was also a small sect located on a nearby hill, founded by a martial artist who opened a martial arts school in the city.
He stumbled out of the wooden cabin, feeling as if he were in a period drama. There was a high threshold at the entrance, and the sunlight outside fell upon it, as if it were broken.
The two siblings blinked their eyes
The surroundings are desolate, with nothing but deep mountains and barren forests, and countless ferocious beasts.
This is truly ... ... completely baffling ... ... " He crouched down, holding his head, feeling as if his mind was in a chaotic turmoil.
So it started? Damn, isn't it a bit too direct without any small talk! Lin Xin felt his heart racing, didn't movies say that in ancient times, before a fight, one would first announce their names... or is it not about names? His mind was in a state of chaos, yet he tried hard to calm himself down
Two golden rays struck the ground both inside and outside the house, creating a dazzling effect
On the sixth day of arriving in this world, Lin Xinru was carefully studying the characters of this place from memory, sitting in his room when suddenly, with a bang, his door was slammed open. Lu Yun rushed in, looking dazed and shouting anxiously.
He extended his finger and pointed at himself
Lin Xin recalled the remnants of memories in his mind, devoid of cars, devoid of airplanes, devoid of electric lights, nothing at all
Lin Xin had just opened his eyes and, before he could comprehend what was happening, saw an elderly man in ancient robes, with a face full of sorrow, pressing a yellow booklet into his hands. The old man's eyes widened, and he gasped his last breath.
In the courtyard, the ground was in disarray, with three or four strong men lying haphazardly. A dark-faced man was engaged in a fierce duel with his junior sister, An Ying, their swords clashing together, creating a flurry of silver sparks.
Master! Suddenly, a sharp cry abruptly rang out from behind him
Lin Xin turned around and saw two siblings who looked very similar standing behind him. They were both dressed in gray clothing, resembling the buttonless garments worn in ancient China, secured at the waist with belts
As your teacher, I entrust you with the final secret technique. Do not let me down.
Master, someone has arrived, it is from the Hengdao Sect
What is the statement? What statement? Laozi's sword is the statement
A gentle breeze blew by, and Lin Xin's expression was blank. He looked up and down at himself; he was wearing a set of black clothing resembling a Taoist robe, his hair was tied back, and his legs were bound with cloth strips. The white fabric strips looked dirty at first glance
An Ying was dressed in a green bodysuit, with a somewhat eye-catching black belt around her waist. Her fair face was slightly flushed, and she was also sweating profusely. However, due to her years of martial arts training, her figure was extremely slender, with long legs, a prominent front, and a rounded back. Her neat ponytail hung down her back, so although her features could only be considered delicate, the combination gave her a striking athletic goddess aura
Where is Senior Sister An Ying? Lin Xin's first action was not to get up, but to remain firmly seated in his chair, refusing to move at all.
Behind me were the loud cries, as that group of junior disciples was still in deep sorrow
The two men pushed forward for a while, then retreated for a while, wandering around the courtyard. The man with the dark face suddenly jumped back, withdrawing from the battle group, panting heavily.
Lin Xin pressed his forehead, completely unaware of what was happening
Lin Xin suddenly woke up, glancing around. He was standing in a small wooden cabin, surrounded by brown wooden walls made of roughly hewn logs. A faint scent of wood lingered in the air, but more prominent was the strong aroma of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Senior brother..." A delicate and weak voice came from behind Lin Xin, tinged with a hint of sobbing
Senior sister has started fighting! Senior brother! Hurry! Hurry up!!" Lu Yun shouted with a mournful expression.
Their sect is called the Red Pine Sect, which is a small sect that has already fallen into decline. However, it is said that it once had a respectable history
What should we do now, Senior Brother? The two siblings looked somewhat dazed, clearly not very bright.
Lin Xin felt as if a nerve in his forehead was about to jump out
Ruby Lin
Lin Xin gradually came to understand the situation around him
Hurry! Hurry up! Right now, only you, Senior Brother, can hold her back. Move quickly, or it will be too late!
Want to leave? It's not that easy
"What are you in such a hurry for?" He felt his voice tremble slightly, "We can go out later... later, we can catch them off guard..."
The two siblings exchanged a glance.
At this moment, voices could also be heard from outside, and amidst a series of footsteps, it seemed that someone had gathered at the entrance of the dojo
"No... nothing." Lin Xin said weakly, "I just want to be alone for a while..."
Alright, alright, alright! As expected of Hong Song Anying, today I admit defeat! Let's go!
Seeing her opponent attempting to flee, An Ying's eyebrows immediately shot up, and a glint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes as she charged forward with a kick. However, at that moment, she caught a glimpse of Lin Xin stepping out of the door from the corner of her eye. Instantly, her right leg retracted, and her previously raised eyebrows softened.
